His devastated family have spoken about the impact his death has had on them. Mr Aydemir's father Wil said: "I am absolutely devastated and broken by Macauley’s death. He was not only my son but my best friend and work partner." He was a fun, happy go lucky young man with a huge passion and love for machinery since a really young age, and I will miss him more than words can describe.

“I would like to thank everybody who did what they could to help in trying to save Macauley, the members of the public, the attending paramedics and the doctors and nurses at Ysbyty Gwynedd Bangor hospital and Royal Stoke University hospital. I am still continuing to process these events so would kindly ask for privacy during this difficult time.”
